Chemocoding as an identification tool where morphological- and DNA-based methods fall short: Inga as a case study

What is it about?

Traditional morphological- and molecular-based taxonomic methods have proved problematic for species-rich regions and highly species rich-genera. We show that metabolomic analyses can distinguishing confusing species, particularly in the diverse tropics where many species-rich genera do not resolve with DNA barcoding.
